It won't make 3.9, which is already in production. But reviewing and tsting the diff is on my list. I'm a bit worried you are breaking documented behaviour (the opendir, readdir, telldir, closedir, opendir, seekdir case). But most other platforms (except NetBSD) do not seem to give this guarantee, so maybe it is ok to drop it. A comment I can give now is that I prefer the lists manipulations to be done using the list macros from queue(3). You might wanna take a look at the freebsd code. -Otto
